Prime Minister Churchill to President Roosevelt
Tehran, 1 December 1943
My Dear Franklin, I was indeed touched by your kind present. It is a beautiful bowl, and I shall always treasure it as a reminder of our sunlit days in Tehran and of the most memorable of my Birthdays.
I cannot thank you enough for all your friendship and support in the years in which we have worked together, and I am glad of this occasion to send you a message of sincere affection and gratitude.
Yours always,
WINSTON S. CHURCHILL
